World Cup 2026 fans in Texas and Kansas City flock to RV parks as hotel prices soar

In Brief

Fans of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Arlington and Kansas City are choosing RV parks and campgrounds over hotels due to skyrocketing accommodation costs. Camping fees range from $57 to $76 per person per night, while hotel rooms cost hundreds of dollars.

In Arlington, Texas, supporters of England, Argentina, and Germany are booking RV campsites en masse as hotel prices surge. The KOA Holiday in Dallas/Arlington reports near-full occupancy of all 159 RV spots for matches involving top teams. A campsite costs $57–$76 per person per night, while hotel rooms near the stadium run into hundreds of dollars. Fans say the format saves money and allows them to socialize with other supporters.

In Kansas City, Argentina fans set up camp at Jackson County Campgrounds, using RVs, tents, and campers. They cited the ability to cook, socialize, and build community as reasons for choosing camping over hotels. About 20 of them later traveled to Dallas for the next match.

Several cities in the Kansas City area have imposed a temporary ban on street camping from June 11 to July 21, 2026, covering all World Cup matches. RV park owners say their facilities can offer a more affordable alternative to hotels and Airbnb for fans.
